About the Chef

Villa Mangiacane’s private Chef has a passion for food, flavor, and creativity, designing regional specialties with an international twist.  Meals can range from a simple three courses to a complex tasting menu of seven.  Our Chef mixes the freshest local ingredients to present meals that will surely satisfy.  He capitalizes on Tuscan ingredients such as traditional Bistecca alla Fiorentina, T-bone steaks from possibly the best butcher in Tuscany, to a more simple handcrafted spaghettoni with tomatoes and basil plucked from the garden.  If your inclination is for fish, he could prepare Sicilian king prawns in honey crust on lentils and ginger sauce, accompanied by a fennel carpaccio.  And, if you are curious to learn more, join him in a private cooking class where he will lead you through the steps to create your own Tuscan feast.  From simple to sophisticated, our Chef has the ability to deliver an extraordinary meal in a spectacular setting.
